Notes
- General
- "A television screen is lowered. It shows us, in grainy black and white, the murder of Caesar, and the two great speeches of Brutus and Antony at the same time these events are taking place on stage - the fashioning of instant History through celluloid images." Christopher Edwards, Plays and Players (April 1983).
